OF NO CONSEQUENCES.

Whatever may be the merits of
the controversy between the States
man and Judge Mayhem regarding
what the latter said upon hearing
of the death of Senator Logan, it is
certain that the proprietors of that
paper do not propose to be bull
dosed by any action of the council
tending to the exoneration of the
presiding officer. The charge that
he did utter the offending language
is reiterated and when, and under
what circumstances infinitely des-
cribed. The Statesman also pub
fishes a letter from Mr.. F. P. An
drews, who asserts that Judge
Mayhem did use the language at
tributed to him while in the Over
land Hotel. The statement is made
that Judge Beatty was the party to
whom the remarks were addressed,
and if so, certainly that gentleman
can easily substantiate the truth OF
the charge made, or disprOve it.
1t really makes but little difference
whether Judge Mayhem did say
that Hogan ought to have died
twenty years ago" or not. Those
who would endorse such an ex-
preston are easily to be counted
and the utterance of the same hardly
rises to the dignity of an investiga.
ton or cause to resort to ques-
ton of privilege.

The 9kiff murder trial having re-
suited in the acquittal of George
Boiler, he 10 engaged now in not
only indicating himself, but 9TH
ers whose names are being used in
connection with the mysterious
disappearance of the missing man.
A few days ago an item was pub
lished concerning the possibility of
]. G. Wait, formerly of this town,
having some knowledge of the mat
ter, and in his defense Boiler pub
fishes in the Oregonian the follow
ing letter, addressed to the editor
of that journal:
notice in your issue Of the 18th inst an
item entitled Solution Offered to . MUIR
der" which item was copied from q paper
published in Idaho, casting suspicion upon
]. c. Wait in connection with the disap-
pcarance of Willis Skiff. This item was
simply trash. Three men have already
been tried for that supposed murder, and
it was demonstrated beyond . reasonable
doubt that Skif left the country to avoid
paying his honest debts. Every manner of
blackmail, perjury and bribery was used
in order to convict the accused parties of a
crime that had never been committed by
any one. And now these slanderers are
not satisfied. but seek to blacken the char
acter of J. C. Wait. who il undoubtedly far
more innocent of any crime than his &C
cusers. Wait was in this place three days
after Skifs departure, and went from here
to Union. This infamous effort to Islander
Wait is made to screen some party in .
certain ring, who knows the present wherea-
bouts Of Skif. The people OF North Powder
have never accused anyone of 6kifrs MUIR
der, but they are firmly and fully con-
WINGED that Skiff is now living in our own
or some foreign country, and laughing 1t
the simpletOns lac left behind him.
e. II. BOBIER.
In the Portland World he pub
fishes another letter, in which he
scores the Sunday papers of that
city for the articles published
against him, and flays the detective
engaged in working up the case
against him in an unmerciful man.

Friday Night Club.

A number of the gentlemen of
town have organized a social club
and will give a series Of dances on
alternate Friday nights at Metro
Polltan Hall. 1t is proposed to
ENJOY these social gatherings in ra-
tonal way, and with such end in
view dancing will continue but
shortly beyond the midnight hour,
While the time of commencement
VIII be arranged to take place much
earlier than usual on such occa-
slons. The first of the series of
'aese club socials took place last
night and was in every way a de-
claed success. Every one present
seemed to have thrown dull care
away and, imbued with a spirit of
keen enjoyment individually, We'd
WIN each other to make "the first
VI The series" a pleasant reminder
Of q What the future meetings of the
friday night club has in store.

Hon T. B. Shaw Of Sawtooth,
one of the Alturas delegation in the
lower branch of the legislature. has
made for himself a good record
and returns home to his cOnstitu-
ents with the proud satisfaction of
having done his duty to the best of
his ability. He was not a noisy
member, but always hard at work
studying the needs of the territory
and never influenced by party. The
greatest good to the greatest num-
Der influenced him in casting his
vote for or against a measure. He
would, perhaps, come home better
pleased had his bill to abolish the
office of Attorney General been sue
cessful but he was in the minority
though nevertheless right.

Messrs. Cleek and Slower, who
have been working the Catherine
mine during the winter, were in
town in the early part Of the week
and give . very good report Of the
work accomplished during the past
month. A progress of thirty-two
feet Was made in sixteen days in
sinking, and a vein of ore averaging
six inches in width disclosed, all Of
high grade, and will 60 over 200
ounces to the ton. They expect by
spring to have the mine in good
working shape next season, and
also enough ore to pay them we'll
for the winter campaign in Bassett
gulch.
BLUE JACKET.
Gus Duer is in from his mine,
the Blue Jacket, which is situated
between the Elkhorn and Quaker
City. He reports the prospect en-
couraging. An incline has reached
the depth of eighty feet, dipping
in a westerly direction. A drift is
now being run ON the vein, which
shows q three-inch streak of five
and six hundred ounce ore. The

width, and shows better as work
progresses. The indications are
that a large body of ore will soon
be found. Gus reports the snow
four feet deep and danger of sliding.

A letter received in town during
the week from Boise, written BY q
gentleman who is apparently posteo
on the subject, stated that the nght
over the division was an exciting
one. During the morning hours
the Elmorites would appear Jubi-
liant and confidently boast OF what
votes they had secured but before
the setting of the sun their smiles
would be turned to scowls, as the
very members they had counted
upon had later in the day yielded
to the solid arguments of the Altu-
ras contingent, which proved IRE
sistable. One day was . repetition
of another, and some of tho doubt
full members who "see-sawed" the
question did not at least lose any
flesh while being convinced ~ 70
the course to pursue upon tho mo-
mento1s question.

For the information Of stock
growers and others owning horses,
cattle and other animals liable to
be manned or killed by railroad
trains, the following extracts from
the Revised Code of Idaho, 1887, are
published ~ follows:
The railroad company II liable to the
sustained, unless caused through the neg
lect or fault of owner.
Every railroad company must keep
book 1t principal station In each county
into or through which it, road runs ~ he
designated by the company. and notice
of the station 30 designated must be MED
with the recorder of the county In which
tile station is located; and every such COM
pany must cause 70 BE- entered in said book
within fifteen days after the killing or
manning Of any animal description ~
nearly as may be Of such. Its color, age,
marks and brands, and keep said book sub
ject TO public inspection: Failure to do 30
renders the company liable for twice the
value of the animal killed or injured.
In case of manning Or killing Of any cat
tie. sheep or hog the body Of the animal be.
longs to the company unless tile owner OF
the animal elects within twelve hours to
take the same in satisfaction or reduction
of damages. The company in such case Is
to preserve the hide ut least thirty days for
inspection at q station nearest where the
accident occurred under penalty OF forfeit
ing 500. in addition to damage sustained.
One-half of the forfeit goes 70 the informer.
the remainder to the school fund.
Railroad corporations are required TO
maintain good fence on both sides OF the
track whenever it passes through Or along
or abuts upon, or il contiguous 70 private
property, or enclosed land In the actual
possession of another.
Railroad corporations paying 70 the own
er of the land through or along which their
road is located an agreed price for making
and maintaining such fence. or paying the
cost of such fence with the award Of dams
ges allowed for the right OF way for such
railroad, are relieved and exonerated from
ell claims for damages arising out OF the
killing or manning any animals Of persons
who thus fail TO construct and maintain
such fence, and the owners of such animals
are responsible for any damages or loss
which may accrue to such corporations
from such animals being upon their rail
road track, resulting from the non-con'
struction of such fence, unless 1t IS shown
that such loss or damage occurred through
the negligence or fault vi the company.

The result of the vote cast on
last Saturday at q special election,
upon the question of issuing bonds
to secure funds for the erection Of
q new school house, reflects credit
upon the residents Of the district.
The expression of giving to our
growing youth every advantage per-
tanning to their educational welfare
was unanimous, only one vote be-
ing polled against the measure. 1t
is proposed to erect a substantial
brick building provided with oil
the facilities for the comfort of the
pupils. In the construction of such
an edifice it has been suggested
that it be in two stories, the lower
devoted to the needs of the school,
the upper fitted up as a hall. Such
an arrangement would provide a
desirable and safe place of meeting
for the various secret societies, and
the money derived from such source
would help pay the interest on the
bonds. The proposition is worthy
the consideration ofthe school trus-
tees. Now. that the preliminary
step has met with such success,
preparations will be made for the
speedy erection of the new building
and before the coming of another
winter the children attending school
will be able to prosecute their stud
les in a comfortable school house (;
one that will amply meet the need
of the district and be o source OF
pride to all.
